Dhanijel Released in 1888 heavily edited. Originally 5 seconds long and included lot's of gore and explicit sex, but due to the threat of an X-rating from the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC), the director cut it down to 2 seconds so it could be released as PG-13.Because it premiered around the same time as "Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge" which was the blockbuster of the year it did poorly at the box offices and the movie quickly went to 4K3D Blu-ray.Only in recent years have it started to get the attention it deserves.Due to Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince directing both movies he still got the money back for "Roundhay Garden Scene" but got so disarrayed because his original vision wasn't being shown to the public.He made a couple of independent movies called "Man Walking Around the Corner" and "Accordion Player" before he retired and leaved all the fame and Hollywood promises behind.The uncut version is still missing.

WakenPayne This Film Without Doubt Is Probably One Of The Most Historical Films Ever Made Purely On The Grounds That It Is The Oldest Film Ever Made. The Simple Fact That Its 2 Seconds Long Makes It One Of The Most Watchable Movies Ever Made, If You Hate It Its All Over In A Second. I Am Also A Fan Of LePrince's Other Film Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge However I Don't Like His Accordion Player Film Because Of Its Poor Picture Quality (It Looks As If Someone Had Put Sandpaper Over The Lense Whereas This Film Had A Much Clearer Picture Quality). Some People Talk About What The Movie Would've Been Like If It Was Longer But In My Opinion 2 Seconds Is Enough On The Grounds Of The History (Whatever You Do Don't Blink In This Movie Otherwise You'll Miss The Whole Thing).PS I Haven't Talked About The Quality Because As I Emphasised Its Just 2 Seconds Long.

adamparent92 This is probably one of the most influential films of all time.I can only think of one that is equal or more influential,that is "The Horse in Motion." Which was a series of pictures made by a horse galloping over thread which activated multiple cameras.So anyway,"Roundhay Garden Scene"has a very complex,twisted plot that will leave you wanting more.As the man emerges from his home, he looks as though he was guilty of something.It looked as though the two men were urging him to get out as quick as possible,and the women was very troubled, as though she had just lost a loved one because of a gruesome murder...Hopefully this story will continue

Michael_Elliott Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge (1888)If you've ever wondered what the first movies ever made were then here you go. Director Louise Le Prince shot these two films with a single lense camera he made in 1888. From what I've read, both were shot in October of 1888 because the director's mother died this month and she's featured in the first film (which I just had to watch twice). The first film has some sort of creepy feel along with it but if you're interested then you can see them at IMDb or Youtube. Both just last for two seconds but at least I can now say I saw the first film ever made.
